If you run coccicheck with V=1 and COCCI=, you will see a strange path to the semantic patch file. For example, run the following: $ make V=1 COCCI=scripts/coccinelle/free/kfree.cocci coccicheck [ snip ] The semantic patch that makes this report is available in scriptcoccinelle/free/kfree.cocci. Notice "s/" was dropped from "scripts/coccinelle/free/kfree.cocci". When running coccicheck without O=, $srctree is expanded to ".", which represents one arbitrary character in the regular expression. Using sed is not a good choice here. Strip $srctree/ simply without sed.
